This is not the repeat of an earlier post.

It just seems like it.

For the second time this season, Kentucky has made the biggest forward move in the CBS Sports rankings of all 129 FCS college football teams. After UK’s 28-7 win over Mississippi State on Saturday at Kroger Field, the Cats have jumped up 24 spots to No. 14.

“Kentucky (+24): One of the biggest stories of the weekend was Kentucky not only beating a very good Mississippi State team, but doing so to improve to 4-0. Few who were predicting the Wildcats win total before the season factored in wins over both Florida and Mississippi State, but this has been a streak-snapping bunch ready to write its own chapter of Kentucky football history.”

If you remember, after its historic 27-16 win at Florida on Sept. 8, Kentucky catapulted up 41 spots in the CBS Sports rankings to the No. 31 spot. The Cats slipped to No. 38 last week before leaping forward again.
